c'monnn back - ya hear? wehs Cole I been runnin’ this life hard and thin Chasin’ peace like a paycheck I can’t ever spend Tires hummin’ on two-lane moving along like that long black train Head full of noise and eyes full of pain Then that valley opens up like a worn-out Bible And I don’t feel alone, she looks forward to my arrival [Pre-Chorus] Ain’t no sermon like the silence here It tells the truth and it aint always easy son [Chorus] In the Cove I lay my burdens down Let that creek talk sense till I come around when life gets loud and heavy I come back here just to breathe it out Where the hills don’t move and the pines don’t judge If I can’t find me, know where I’m bound The Cove is where i can be found Yeah, MacLemore Cove [Verse 2] Cabin smoke and an old screen door Swingin’ steady like it done before boots dirty and the views real real perdy.. I ain’t proud of every road I took Or every cold word I said But these rocks and roots don’t ask me why They just hold the ground while I learn to try [Pre-Chorus] The world keep hollerin’ “Be more, be new” But this land just says, “Boy, be true.” [Chorus] In the Cove I lay my burdens down Let that creek talk sense when I come back around If I get too tangled in a world gets loud I come back here just to breathe it out Where the hills don’t move and the pines hold no grudge If I can’t find me, I know where i can be found Yeah, MacLemore Cove’s where you can get right [Bridge] If I go early, if I go late Don’t dress it up, don’t sweeten fate Just set me near them ridge-line bones Where the wind knows my name and leaves me alone Let the mountain sing and show you the way And let the dirt do mercy over me [Break – spoken] “This world’ll put a weight on you… but this place don’t add to it.” [Final Chorus] In MacLemore Cove I lay my burdens down Let that creek talk sense till I come unwound When the road gets dark and I can’t see hope I remember this is where I go Where the hills don’t move and the pines don’t judge If I can’t find me, I know where I’m found Yeah, MacLemore Cove’s where a man gets right with what was [Outro] Yeah… MacLemore Cove… you bring me back to me.
